I have M1 offers from both. I value long-term stock growth, M2 trajectory, reasonable WLB, and learning from talented coworkers. Stripe is pre-IPO and has strong eng talent. Coinbase is in the volatile crypto space so there might be higher risk/reward. Both offers have annual grants so there isn't much room for stock upside anyways. What should I do? Would very much appreciate it if you could leave a comment with your rationale. Current TC: 400 Stripe TC: 650 Base: 250 Stock: 350 Sign-on: 50 Coinbase TC: 627 Base: 207 Stock: 400 Sign-on: 20 #stripe #coinbase
What’s your yoe as em and total?
Total: 8 As EM: 4
Deny both! Protest companies that use 1 year RSU grants with no upside potential
Lol
Evil people suggest others to do things that they won’t do themselves in similar situations
Hi OP. Is your stock comp number for one year or over four years?
1 year. Stripe and Coinbase do annual grants, not 4 year grants.
How is your year 2 grant decided?
Congratulations. What will be the teams and role? Offer looks close, I would compare team you would lead.
I'm currently team matching with Coinbase so I'm not sure. The Stripe offer is for an ML team.
Which ML team? I’m in an ML area and may be able to comment on WLB if you’ll be in the same domain.
What’s the bonus? Why do you say there is no upside potential?
It's a 1-yr grant instead of a 4-yr grant. I can only get a year's worth of growth, rather than 4.
But if you stay for long, you’ll get the growth, right
Congratulations! I would go with Stripe. You never know what's going to happen with crypto and government regulation, but Stripe will benefit from online payments regardless of whether crypto succeeds or not.
Thanks! You make a good point!
Wow that's a great offer. Are those final numbers?
Coinbase doesn't negotiate. Still working on the Stripe offer.
650k was the first offer ? If yes, that's an awesome start !!
Isn’t stripe the obvious choice? Higher base, higher TC. If you like potential of crypto, you could always just buy crypto separately.
We could really use more managers that respect WLB, though it’s probably an uphill battle with our newly bloated mgmt chain, please join CB and help us
I hear ya. I hope it improves over time. I really value my own WLB and I don't expect anyone on my team to work evenings/weekends.
